AN EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.

ARTFUL DODOINO REQUIRED.
Washiroton, March 19.—'The Sec
retary of War, Secretary of the Treas
ury and Attorney General regard an
extra session of Congress absolutely
necessary.
The situation with regard to South
Carolina and Louisiana is re-stated.
The President stated*to the last dele
gation of Southern leaders urging
him to immediate action, that It
had required 1C years to confirm the
failure of the old policy, and that he
should have at least 16 days for the
inauguration of thquew policy.
To pm eager parting questioy, is
It Hampton and Nicholls? Echo'an ;
swered, “Hampton and Nicholls !’’
It is quite likely that the Attorney
General to morrow will report that
Hampton is Governor of South Caro,
lina tie facto and etc jure. He may re
port that Packard ought to bo Gov
ernor of Louisiana, but the adminis
tration is entrusted with no power
which it ought to use to enforce his
right.
The President is reported as think
ing that he himself is in a position
to protect the 76,000 voters who sup
ported Packard, and that placing
this burden on the shoulders of the
President would be no surrender of
duty or manhood oruifco part of Gov
Packard.
Itseemstorun in the President's
mind that Packard lost his opportu
nity for martyrdom when Tilden lost
tLe Presidency. The President hopes
to mpke Packard one of the promi
"ififlrfigureSof tne new policy drama.
This he can do if Packard will en
trust his own fortunes aud the hap
piness of the 16,C1i0 who voted for him
in the custody of the President.

To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Sehenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success in the treatment of pulmo

The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordid
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off
by art easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight dough
will throw it off, the patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing

SHK QUARRELS WITH A JEALOUS HUS
BAND HE HAD-THE TITLE ANDSHRTHE
TALENT— SHE 18 WEARY OF HIS TITLE
AND ELOPES WITH HER ROMEO.
From tho Now York Times.]
Paris, February, 2:1, 1877. —’The
scandal, caused by Adelina Patti is
now tho maiu subject of gossip in
the saloous and in the clubs. Tio
; news roll like u thunderbolt upon the
! artistic world of Paris. Tho idea of
: La Patti running away with a oom
j mon teuor, after being for so many
j years a titled and respected lady, held
j up as a model to al young ladies
upon the stage, was almost beyond
conception. Aud the worst of it was
thatibe Marquise went off with a
man, who bore tho vulgar name of
Nicholas, transformed iuto Nieolini
for the stage-a mail of no great per
sonal attractions and of no breeding
or edueaoion. Ho appears a very
common fellow indeed beside the
aristocratic De Caux. But there is
no accounting for feminine fancies,
and we must now give assent to those
who urge that such marriages are
only possible when the artiste quits
the stage. So long us she remains
before the public her husband must
forget that he is a geutleuiau uud be
come a mere the a tricu.l agent. De
Caux has hud to play this role for a
number of years, aiid it has soured
his temper and lowered his moral
tone. Ho was scarcely knowu or re
clived as the Marquis de Caux, but
as Tutti's husband, or the Divas
gendarme. Nvedless to say that he
hud to play the part of a gendarme
in every city, und with the con
sciousness that lie was not
wanted, and wished out of the
way. His life was a miserable one
at best. So fur as Adelina was
concerned he had no great cause for
complaint, for up to a year ago no
breath of scandal had reached her.
She was proud of her coronet—she
liked tho title of Marquise—and so
long as her fancy for the bauble
lasted she conducted herself as well
as any Marchioness in the land. But
there were moments when she wea
ried of her claims; there were home
scenes of jealousy and rage; the
tempers of both husband and wife
became soured, and in time both be
came exasperated to such a point
that an explosion became immi
nent. . .
The Figaro was the lirst to liiut
that the catastrophe bad arrived.
The next day it gave the names in
full letters. The next day came the
article from the St. Petersburg
Goins, which 1 t ranslate :
‘’She was said to be invulnerable
to love, yet lately she was seized
with a passion for a tenor applauded
by the same public. When young
she had espoused a Lord, Count,
Viscount, or Marquis, one knows not
what. She was greatly taken with
him. This husband administered in
bis own way the windpipe of his wife,
which became for him a mine of gold.
He adored his spouse, he was the
first to arrive at the theatre armed
with his telescope, and it was he
who gave the signnis for applause,
’file young tenor llniilly mine to
cloud a sky that had thus far been
serene. The husband, jealous, and
not witbputgeason, it is said, wished
to prevent iris wife playing with the
lover in question. It was even made
one of the veibul conditions when the
engagement with the Diva was signed.
The Director had promised ; but how
could he resist when ttie popular
tenor came to him and offered him
his talents gratis V Andtbat is bow
Romeo and Juliet came_ to play to
gether under the nose of the hus
band. An explosion was inevitable;
it took place day before yesterday.
The actress was in her dressing
room, her diamonds spread about,
when tlie husband burst in like
a bomb. Immediately were heard
through the partition incoherent
words, uttered in a furious tone. All
about the theater came up to listen.
Husband and wife screamed together,
each trying to outscream the other.
Finally these words were heard :
“‘I gave you you- a noble title;
you have acted with me like a
A screaming voice responded :
'•Here! Your title—ah, it’s paid for!
and at tlie same time a storm of jewels
fell upon the husband’s head. An instant
after, a crac, sounding like tlie boxing of
cars, and thou loud ACrejUns for aid:
'Tltlpibelj)!"
The director had to break in tlie door.
When the husband was ordered out lie
relused to go, saying that lie was with bis
wrife. . , , ,
“Take him out!” the latter cried, “lie is
no longer a husband for me.”
“He was put out and the actress called
upon those prsent to witness wliat had
transpired. She should demand a sepa
ration; she hud offered the halt oi her an
nual income to be left in peace. She de
manded protection, and a police agent
was stationed at her door: As an epilogue
to the scene, il is now reported that tlie
lady has run off with tlie tenor, and that
the husband has followed them to Brus
sels.”
This is tlie account of tlie affair as given
by the Golos, and one can see clearly
enough from it that their common or con
jugal life had become intolerable both to
the Marquis and the Marquise. No one
would have blamed the latter if she had
separated from her husband on account
of incompatibility, but to run off with the
vulgar Nicholas, bail! that smells too
much of the baser and lewder sort that
haunt the coulisses of third-rate theaters.
M, de Caux followed his wife to Belgium,
then came on here to enter a suit for sep
aration. To-day Patti and Nicholas arc
reported at Vienna.
Fißhtins the Kxtra session—Wheeler's
Plan.
Special to the Cincin. Enqr.J
Washington, Mftrcb 17. —The ques
tion of an extra session is still unset
tled. Hayes and a clique ef Ohio
politicians who want to capture tlie
organization of the next House and
make Garfield Sfieaker, are still cud
gelimr their brains to devise some
plan by which they may support the
army until tho Army Appropriation
bill is passed without running the
risk of a flagrant violation of the
law. Wheeler thinks he has
devised a plan equal to the
emergency, which, in effect, is as fol
lows: Some strong National Bank,
say the Bank of Commerce of New
York, which has an abundance of
Government bond3 on hand and is
willing to take the risk, is to for
ward to the Treasury Department an
amount of bonds equal to the
amount needed to pay the
army. The Treasury will then for
ward to the bank the same amount
in currency, Government holding the
bonds of the bank as security. This,
according to Wheeler’s theory, would
louve the National Bank, which pro
poses to play tho Uuitod Slates
Treasury Department, to accommo
date the Administration in oosiiion
of a simple depository of Govern
ment funds, a position in which
National banks in all parts of the
country frequently fiud themselves
when the revenue collections or
other Government moneys ure depos
ited with them. The ban k is to have no
account with Government, not even
an interest account.. When money
is needed to pay the troops, tho pay
masters are to be authorized to draw
money in the usual way, except that
they will draw on tho specified
National Bauk instead of tho United
States Treasury, leaving witli the
bank as collateral their respective
certificates, statiug the amount
drawn and for what purpose. After
Congress meets and lias passed the
Army Appropriation bill, tho pay
masters will be paid the amounts re
spectively belonging to them for dis
bursement, which amounts they are
to turn into the Natioual Bank which
advanced the money and take up
their certificates deposited as col
lateral. Mr. Wheeler thinks that
in this way everything will
be legal aud uu extra session
avoided, though he admits the
strength of an objection which is
raised to it, that it cannot be em
ployed to furnish subsistence, as tho
law positively prohibits the making
of any contracts in advance of ap
propriations. On this point, howev
er, he has learned from Secretary
McCrary that all contracts for subsis
tence are continuous contracts; so no
Dew contracts need be made, and con
tractors need not have to wait louger
than they frequently do for the pas
sage of tho Deficiency bill. Evans
agrees with Wheeler that the plan is
feasible aud legal; but Sherman is
wily enough to fear the result of any
such makeshift, aud the Attorney
General, wtio is preparing un opinion
in the matter, is said to be firm in his
opinion that the law does not war
rant the adoption of the plan. There
are plenty of banks eager to do the
Government the favor and take —the
chance of getting four times the
value in return, knowing as they do
that the Government will not repudi
ate the service of its troops or refuse
to pay them. To make assurance
doubly sure, Wheeler has submitted
a plan to ieadiug Democrats iu both
Houses, who say they don’t think
there will be any objection made to
it by the Democratic party in tho
next Congress Mr. Morristou is wil
ling to give pledge to that effect. It
is well understood, however, that
the Speakership phantom affects the
notions of mauy, and the genurul im
pression is that Hayes will uot dare
the risk, since John Sherman has
advised him of the trouble almost
sure to be stirred up by some who
will be disappointed in the organiza
tion of the next House. Hayes is
still very anxious to prevent an extra
session, but will doubtless be gov
erned by the opinion of Devens,
which is expected to be submitted to
the Cabinet next Tuesday.

WHO WILL advance MONEY TO PREVENT
AN EXTRA SESSION.
Special to Chicago Tlmca.J
Washington, March 13. Tlie capi
talists of the country are very anx
ious that there shall be no extra ses
sion, and have been offering such in
ducements to President Hayes that
he thinks he will be able to tide over
the Congressional recess without a
special call. It is found by consulta
tion with his legal adviser, Attorney
General Devens, that under the pre
sent laws all supplies for the army
that are now furnished, with the-ex
ception of the pay of officers and
men, and perhaps transportation, can
be provided for without a sjieeial ar
my appropriation. It is estimated
that $5,000,000 will be sufficient to
pay the officers and men for six
months, and already enough capital
ists have volunteered to furnish tho
President tbis surn, so us to avoid the
necessity of an extra session. All
that delays the President now is this:
His friends have placed themselves
la communication with some dozen
or fifteen leading members of both
parties in the new Congress to get
them to pledge themselves to pass a
bill appropriating the money, so be
can repay the loan advanced. If ho
cannot secure this guarantee, ho will
call a special session, but notbeiore

When you see a young man sitting in a
parlor, with the ugliest six-year old boy that
ever frightened himself in a mirror, clam
bering over his knees, jerking his white tie
out of knot, mussing his white vest, kick
ing his shins, feeling in all his pockets for
nickles, bombarding him from time to time
with various bits of light furniture and hi
jouterie , calling him names at the top ofhis
fiendish lungs, and yelling incessantly for
him to come out in the yard and play, while
ihe unresisting victim tmiies all the time
like the cover of a comic almanac, you may
safely bet, although there isn’t a sign of a

full of lunch, a bird-cage, a glass jar ofjelly

Simon Cameron’s flank movement in put
ting Don in his place from the rotton bor
ough of i’ensylvania was to save the spoils
and thus avert the threatened downfall of the
family. All the Federal offices are filled
with the creatures of this corrupt concern.
Its power has been maintained solely by
public patronage, by jobbery, and by plun
der of the Treasury, under all administra
tions that would tolerate the connection.
When the effort to continue Don in the
War Department broke down by its own
weight, the old manager was sorely grieved
He had been beaten at his own game. He
saw before him a cheerless future, for after
having denounced Hayes as a fraud, he op
posed the confirmation of the Cabinet, there
was no chance for him to recall his woids
or to regain favor. If he remained in the
Senate, he was likely to be deposed from the
Chairmanship of Foreign Relations, as a
just retribution for the nasty intrigue throuh
which he had supplanted Sumner. More
than this, it w as next to certain that he would
have to witness the slaughter of his follow
ers in office in Pensylvania.
Hence the sudden change of position, by
which the son is substituted lor the father
in the Senate. Don, who purposely failed
to sign the modified order to Gen. Augur,
which Grant had directed to be issued in re
gard to the use of troops, aud who unscru
pulously abused his power as Secretary to
uphold the carpet-baggers and outrage the
Southern people, will profess the utmost de
votion to Hayes’s policy, whatever it may
he, and will subscribe to any conditions his
new master may impose, if allowed to wield
the patronage for his ow n interest. Hayes
knows the treachery and venality of both fa
ther and son, and it remains to pe tested
whether he will keep the latter at arm’s
length and see that the back door is barred
against his entrance. —from the New York

A few weeks ago one of our citizens went
to bed and to sleep, as he says, never feeling
better in bis life. In the morning he awoke
and found his family and neighbors standing
about his bed in a state of great anxiety, and
astrange man trying to get something sweet
with a spoon into bis month. To his expres
sions of astonishment ihe reply was: “Didn’t
you know you were sick?” “Never was
better in my life.” “Why, you’ve been aw
fully sick. We thought you w’ere dead or
dying, and here is the doctor trying to give
you some medicine.”, it was ail a mystery
to him; he ielt perfectly well; wanted no
medicine; was going to get up. After remon
strance and considerable parley, he again
announced his determination to get up. He
then learned from his wife that in the night
he uttered “a most unearthly shriek,” where
upon she aiose quickly, struck a light, and
found him lying upon his back rigid and in
a state of insensibility. She immediately
called in the rest of the household and some
ol the neighbors. A strong man put his
hands under his head to raise him and found
him “as stiff as a crowbar.” His throat was
swollen so that ail was level from his chin
to his stomach. A sensible lady conceived
that there was virtue in friction, and rubbed
him until she was nearly exhausted, and
probably saved his life. A physician was
eatied, and, as it was the patient’s hotir for
getting up when the doctor was about to ad
minister his remedy, he awoke “never better
in his life.”
He got up, went down town as usual, called
on the doctor, and paid him his bill,— Ban

A writer to the N. O. Times says:
It was a curious spectacle. Here were a
class of men who had disturbed the whole
country for twelve years. And in a night,
as it were, they were unloaded.
This was strikingly exemplified when
Spencer tried to prevent Lamar’s admission
to the Senate. He arose in his most inso
lent way, and read some Lies about intimida
tion in Mississippi, and then moved that La
mar’s case be referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections when it should be
appointed. This was the first flaunt of the
bloody shirt, It had waved high during the
canvass. Spencer thought this thing was to
still go on. Spencer said lie wanted to know
whether inoffensive Republicans were to be
prevented from exercising their rights with
out a chance to be heard, and asked for the
ayes and nocs, “that,” as he arrogantly said,
“thecountry might know who 'he Senators
were, willing to sit by and see the man who
hail won his seat by disfranchising the col
ored voters of Mississippi, take bis seat in
the Senate,” After this rather nebulous
statement Spencer sat down and looked
around for signs of approval. But he got
none. The Senate had read the message.
They saw wbat was coming.
The roll call commenced. When Allison,
of lowa, responded “aye,” Spencer slightly
started. Anthony voted the same way. |
But when Bruce voted for Lamar’s admis- |
sion, Spencer was amazed. The stately!
Conkling announced his approval of the
great Mississippi statesman in a most sono
rous “aye.” So it went on down the Sena
torial roll. But the last shock was felt when
Mdrton voted lor Lamar. Then John Sher
msn completed the list with never a “no.”
The Senate had voted but one “Tlo” against
57 ayes, for the admission of the man whose
consistent record had made him easily the
ablest of Southern orators and statesmen.
Such a thing was never seen before.

ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1877.
The Favorite and Loading Newspaper
of the West.
Daily, Tri-Weekly, Semi-Weekly and
Weekly.
THE auooaai of the GLORE-DEHOCHAT. Hluc
the consolidation of which it is in fact aud in
name the product, has been such as to excite
universal comment. Its circulation has steadi
ly increased since its first issue, and its general
business prosperity has k pt pace with its circu
lation. Thus encouraged, its proprietors are de
termined that in the future no effort will be
spared to koep it in the front rank of journal
ism.
Politically, the GLOBE-DEMOCRAT is a sup
porter of the measures of the Republican party,
believing that organization to be best adapted
by its principles aud policies to perpetuate our
form of government, aud to secure its adminis
tration in a manner best calculated to promote
the good of the country.
The popular demand is not ouly for an organ
of opinion, but for a history of the times -
something that will come fully up to the poet’s
idea of
A map of busy life,
Its fluctuations sad its vast coucerns.
In this respect we claim for the GLOBE-DEM
OCRAT a reputation second to that of no journal
injthe West, yielding to no rival in our efforts to
obtain the news,and to present the same in an at
tractive shape <
Our aim is to publish a newspaper adapted to
tho wsuts, tastes and interests of the people of
the Mississippi Valley. To this end we pay es
pecial attention to events happening in Missouri
and the adjoining States—to watch their prog
ress. aud to assist, in so far as we can, in their
development.
The Weekly Globe-Democrat,
Now an Enlarged Octavo of
FIFTY-SIX COLIMNS.
1b emphatically a paper for the People—and es
sentially a Family Newspaper. Containing uh it
doe# a complete summary of the latest and of ail
the Important news from all parts of the world;
a number of Editorials on current topics; a ctre
fully selected and interesting Mlscellaay; valua
ble mattfer for the farmer, housewife, merchant
and mechanic; the latest and moat reliable Live
Stock and Crop Reports; a Financial and Com
mercial Column—long known as complete, and
more reliable than that of any other paper pub
lished In the West; which, with the especial at
tention always given to the progress and the
rapid developemeut of the resources of the Great
West, can not but make the WEEKLY-GLOBE
